FAQs
What is bio-based resin?
Bio-based resin is an environmentally friendly material derived from renewable organic resources. It is used in the case and strap of this G-Shock to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels and lower the product's environmental footprint.
How do I activate the LED backlight?
Locate the backlight button (typically on the bottom right) and press it. The duration of the illumination is usually adjustable in the watch's settings.
Can I wear this watch for scuba diving?
The watch has a 200-meter water resistance rating, making it suitable for recreational scuba diving. However, it is recommended to avoid operating the buttons underwater and to rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt or chlorinated water.
How long does the battery typically last?
The battery life for this model is typically around 3 years under normal usage conditions. This can vary depending on features used, such as frequent backlight activation.
What does the 'Carbon Core Guard structure' do?
The Carbon Core Guard structure uses a carbon fiber reinforced resin case to provide enhanced protection against impacts and deformation, contributing to the watch's overall durability and shock resistance.
How do I set the alarms?
Cycle through the watch modes using the 'MODE' button until you reach the alarm mode (AL1, AL2, etc.). Use the 'ADJUST' button to enter setting mode and the 'FORWARD'/'RESET' buttons to set the time. Press 'ADJUST' to confirm and activate the alarm.
Is the strap replaceable?
Yes, the strap is replaceable. However, due to the specific bio-based resin material and design, it is recommended to use genuine Casio replacement parts or consult an authorized service center for replacement.
Troubleshooting
Watch is not running.
Ensure the battery is not depleted. If the watch is new, remove any protective film from the crown. If the issue persists, the battery may need replacement.
Display is dim or unreadable.
Activate the LED backlight by pressing the corresponding button. If the backlight is weak or not functioning, the battery may be low.
Buttons are unresponsive.
Ensure the watch is not in a mode where button operation is restricted (e.g., during a stopwatch countdown). If buttons are stuck, gently clean around them with a soft brush. If they remain unresponsive, seek professional service.
Incorrect time or date.
Follow the setup instructions to correctly set the time and date. Ensure the correct time zone and DST settings are applied if applicable. For World Time, verify the selected city code.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Initial Time Setting: Press the `ADJUST` button (top left) to enter time setting mode. Use the `MODE` (bottom left) and `RESET` (bottom right) buttons to adjust hours, minutes, and seconds. Press `FORWARD` (top right) to cycle through settings (e.g., DST, time zone). Press `ADJUST` to confirm and exit.
- World Time: Press the `MODE` button until `WT` (World Time) is displayed. Use the `FORWARD` button to cycle through city codes and the `RESET` button to set the time for the selected city.
- Alarms & Timers: Cycle through modes using the `MODE` button to access alarm (AL1-AL5), hourly time signal (SIG), and countdown timer (TMR) functions. Use `ADJUST`, `RESET`, and `FORWARD` buttons to set times and activate functions.
Compatibility:
This is a standalone digital watch and does not require compatibility with other devices for its core functions. Its quartz movement is powered by a battery.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can damage the resin.
- Water Resistance: While rated for 200M, avoid operating buttons underwater. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorine. Have the seals checked periodically if used extensively in water.
- Strap Maintenance: Periodically check the bio-based resin strap for signs of wear. Bio-based resin is durable but can degrade over time with prolonged exposure to UV light or chemicals.
